Of the five boroughs, Bronx schools consistently enroll the largest number of homeless students (STH). Of the 114,659 STH enrolled in the City's 33 school districts during the 2017-18 academic year, 37,484 attended schools in the Bronx (NYSED, 2018). Almost one-third (10,804) of these students were enrolled in schools in District 10. Although education provides the best chance for children to break the cycle of homelessness (Mann, 1977), a vast body of research associate temporary housing with lower academic achievement, lower scores on state exams, and lower graduation rates (Buckner, 2008; GAO, 2010; Murphy & Tobin, 2011; NCFH, 2016). The McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (1987) and its reauthorizations mandate the removal of all barriers to STH's educational achievement. By examining the factors that support the academic achievement of STH, this study contributes to a better understanding of the practices that enable STH to excel academically. The findings revealed a lack of knowledge of the McKinney-Vento Act which may have prevented teachers from providing the kinds of supports the literature advocates. Moreover, the data suggested that a lack of collaboration, monitoring, and data-driven instruction may be responsible for the gap in the graduation rate between STH and their permanently housed peers. The study's findings also suggested three significant areas for consideration when educating students experiencing housing insecurity: teachers knowing the STH in their classes, in-school professional development specifically geared towards meeting the needs of STH, and a comprehensive knowledge of the McKinney-Vento Act.
